Republican entertainer Randy Travis threatened to kill Texas state troopers.

[RandySF]

Randy Travis threatened to shoot and kill the troopers who arrested him for drunk driving last night ... this according to the Grayson County Sheriff's Office.

The GCSO tells us ... officers received a call at 11:18 PM from a person who stated there was a man lying in the roadway. When cops arrived to the scene, they noticed Travis' 1998 Pontiac Trans Am had driven off the road and slammed into several barricades in a construction zone.

Travis was initially arrested for DWI -- but once he was inside the cop car, officials say the singer threatened to "shoot and kill the Troopers working the case."

As we previously reported, Travis was NAKED ... and rode bareback while he was being transported to the station.

5. Jail.

Well, I was drunk the day my Mom got outta prison.
And I went to pick her up in the rain.
But, before I could get to the station in my pickup truck
She got runned over by a damned old train.

"The upcoming Iowa Straw Poll will be a little bit country thanks to Michele Bachmann. The Republican presidential candidate announced on Tuesday that country music star Randy Travis will perform at the event, along with country artists Richie McDonald and Tim Rushlow and Christian singer Charles Billingsley.

“I am a huge Randy Travis fan and I am honored he will be with us on August 13 to help make this day fun and meaningful for our supporters and their families, as well as to encourage all straw poll attendees, regardless of their candidate of choice, to come together to help support Iowa’s returning military veterans,” Bachmann said in a press release.

Team Bachmann also promises to provide barbecue, beverages and an air-conditioned tent."
